## What they're looking for

- Hands-on product or application security experience on software that customers run or depend on, with a record of finding, fixing, and preventing real vulnerabilities, not only running scanners or tracking compliance
- Strong software engineering ability: you read and write production code, review pull requests, and can ship a fix and the test that proves it
- Experience threat-modeling and reviewing the design of distributed systems, APIs, and services, including authentication, authorization, multi-tenancy, data isolation, and secrets handling
- Working knowledge of cloud and container security: IAM, network boundaries, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code
- Sound risk judgment: you can separate a real, reachable risk from a theoretical one and choose controls that fit the stage of the company
- Clear written and verbal communication with engineers, leadership, and customers' security teams, and discretion with sensitive information
